Nash Park had some renovations done and its like really cool to see in person and it might inspire you to watch the movie if you haven't seen it yet. It wasn't on Yelp and I accidentally found it and I figured its worth being on here. So please feel to share it with others and let this park become A Beautiful Place!

Since we are in a pandemic mode and there are not many place for outdoor dining, this park was perfect for it. I really appreciate how well of a build it is. There are plenty of benches and tables to gather. It also has a very unique Japanese structure on site which I think is an amazing idea. Thank you for reading this and I hope you find this helpful.

I have been traveling near this park for years and never knew about this nice little escape located off Harlingen Road. The kid's playground looks good and they even got a zipline for them, so I'm sure kids really enjoy it because it looks like fun. The Veterans and 911 Memorial is a great addition because it reminds us of the many innocent people who lost their lives fighting for this country or those who were just in the city working on that unforgettable day on September 11, 2001. I love being in nature and the Arboretum is the perfect place to just relax and explore while listening to the birds sing to you! I added this info below from park's website: "Upper and lower park entrances on Harlingen Road passed Devon Rd. Playground, pathways, restroom, picnic/pavilion area (2),grills, fire pit, lighted basketball courts (2), lacrosse fields, softball fields, sand volleyball. Paved loop path and cross-country trails. It includes: The Montgomery Veterans Memorial and the 9-11 Memorial  A short paved pathway away from the upper parking area. The Montgomery Arboretum A natural area which can be accessed from the lower parking area, where there is signage."

We rode the paths (2x around) for about a 3.5 mile distance. In the more wooded sections we saw a family of deer from no more than 15 feet away, they watched us as we watched them crossing the path. People all had their dogs on leashes and everyone was polite/friendly. A nice scenic place to ride/walk if you want to get out of your neighborhood these days.

We concentrated on the wider and paved trails and eventually looped around 1(?) of the lakes. Many of the trails are shaded which was perfect for this mid 90s day, and the park was not crowded at Most people had masks down but pulled back up as others were nearby, we did likewise. I'm going to explore more of this overlooked gem, and I think a picnic on the lake when temps moderate. Towards the back of the one lake is a few well positioned benches( others scattered around the lake too) which we found perfect for quiet conversation and butterfly watching. I also look forward to returning in other seasons as was suggested by another review.

It is well known that the use of any pesticide does not stay where it is sprayed but ruins microorganisms in the soil, runs into the water sources, and eventually to humans. There are other sustainable ways to block out invasive plants... As my child and i played in the beautiful pine trees on the hill, a go cart came by spraying. We quickly got out of there and went down the hill and over the bridge to the playground. It didn't take long for the smell to waft down to the playground. We must really educate ourselves about pesticide use because it affects everyone and everything. Where will our children play safely?

The playground is always a hit with the kids, and there are plenty of open grassy areas for frisbee, kicking a soccer ball, or just spreading out for a picnic. There's also a lot to do here: a splash park (in season), a golf course, bike paths, fishing, tennis, pickleball, and bocce. There are pavilions available for parties, along with grills and picnic tables for a BBQ. One of my favorite spots is the Rose Garden. It wasn't open on this visit (the sign noted an April 15 opening), but peak bloom is in June, and it's worth coming back for. Bottom line: A well-maintained park with something for everyone.

I know everyone loves the other parks, but this one has a real restroom, open most of the year and a port a potty during the winter. A definite bonus with kids. Skate park. Skateboards, bicycles, scooters. No one is rude--it's rather refreshing seeing people take turns. So much for the idea from my childhood that skaters were criminals. Climbing wall. Basketball court. Jungle gyms for wee and older kids. Picnic tables. Active soccer field. Swings. One was broken last summer, removed the next day, replaced the third day. Active. It is rare that the park is ever empty. Ample parking I try to do the bars every time we visit; the kids aren't quite there yet, but there are both children's and regular bars, plus the spinny bars. 4 slides, possibly 5. Tip: if you want to take ice cream cones, scoop ice cream on to cones, put upside down into cups (the kid's cups from restaurants are perfect), then put into a purse. The kids will think you're a mad genius.

First of all, the hike was extremely muddy, so dress accordingly. It had been raining the prior day. The kids shoes/ pants were filthy at the end... we had them take off their shoes before getting in the car. Fortunately it was not slippery despite the incline. Speaking of the incline, it wasn't very difficult. Didn't get any complaints from the kids. The hike itself is quite interesting with the boulders, scenery etc which kept them engaged. We spent probably an hour for the round trip, with an additional half hour exploring the boulders. It has a fairly large parking lot which was convenient. Note that we did enter "Sourland Mountain" as the destination in google maps which took us to the middle of nowhere. So I'd recommend specifically adding the hiking trail as the destination.
